🏠Cozy Bungalow 🐶Dog Friendly 🏖Close to the beach (less than 1/2 mile)
Welcome to the BOW🐶WOW • Beach 🏖 Bungalow™. A peaceful, dog-friendly haven for you and your pups. This quaint, cozy “home away from home” is close (1/2 mi) to the beach, local shopping, and restaurants, but in a quiet neighborhood away from the crowds. Beautiful screened porch for relaxing, plus a large fenced backyard to enjoy. Full home water filtration system with reverse osmosis and double-filtered drinking water at the kitchen sink. • 🐶Dogs ALWAYS welcome
⚠️ IMPORTANT • 📝 PLEASE READ ALL RULES • 🐶 PET FEE REQUIRED if bringing DOGS
⚠️ ADDITIONAL RULES: * Please treat our home with respect as you would your own. * No parties, no events. * No smoking, vaping or similar due to guest/host allergies. * Pets allowed - Dogs only - currently 50 pounds or less - No more than 2 dogs per reservation - $100 pet fee required. [🐶size+quantity exceptions on a per reservation basis with host approval, which would include additional pet fees of $50 per dog - future plans will include all sizes with quantities up to five dogs - stay tuned🐶] * Please clean up after dogs both inside and out - Dog waste bags are provided as a courtesy for that purpose, in case you forget to bring your own. * Please ensure dogs or guests don’t push against the screen in the doors leading into the backyard. Those screens can push out and tear rather easily. Instead, use the door knobs/handles to open and shut all doors. * Outdoor tub is cast-iron, so if the outside air temperature is lower than 65 degrees, then the water gets cold quickly.
❗️THE SPACE: This is a one-level, family-oriented, dog-friendly environment for both you and your well-behaved pups to enjoy. The property has a large, fenced backyard with plenty of space to allow your dogs to play without worry. The house is simple and cozy with retro and boho touches all over. And, the tongue-and-groove cathedral ceilings, with post-and-beams throughout, add to the open-concept feeling. We love to think of it as simple with lots of “Bow•Wow”! 😁
❗️GUEST ACCESS: You will have full access to the entire property, with exception of the owner's closet in the laundry room, which contains basic tools and supplies for owner maintenance purposes.
❗️INTERACTION WITH GUESTS: We are always available via AirBnB messaging, text, or phone call, in order to answer any questions or concerns that you may have before, during, and after your stay at our property. We also have dedicated team members available to address immediate, urgent needs.
❗️OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE: 🐶 WE LOVE DOGS! 🐶 And, we lovingly welcome your pups into our home as guests. We definitely want each furry family member to enjoy every moment of vacationing with you on Oak Island. All we respectfully ask in return is for guests to always be responsible pet owners during their stay, so we can continue welcoming all dogs into our “Bow-Wow Beach Bungalow”. See dog-related rules below. THANK YOU!!!
* A maximum of two (2) dogs allowed. * No dogs over fifty (50) pounds allowed presently due to the current size of installed dog doors. However, we have plans to remedy this in the future, so we can allow all-size dogs. * A $100.00 non-refundable pet fee covers up to two dogs during your stay. The fee must be paid during initial booking or directly after accepted booking via a Host request made through AirBnb. Pet fee must be paid prior to check-in. * Please indicate truthfully during the booking process whether you plan to bring dogs. We use the honor system of trust during booking, but we always verify during check-in or at some point thereafter. * Please pick up and clean up after your dogs both outside and inside. Our housekeeper and groundskeeper appreciate this tremendously.
